    The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie

    The Day the Earth Blew Up is delightful, zany fun. It's Looney Toones meets Invasion of the Body Snatchers via Roger Rabbit. My 10-year-old declared it one of the best films he’s ever seen. More of these plead WB. Maybe Coyote v. Acme, eh? Anyways, Bravo to all the creators!

    I'll be discussing this more on our next Mini-Bits episode of The Best Bits podcast.

    Imagine if Team ICO crafted a film that blends the essence of Noah’s Ark with the haunting tone of Stay -- that’s FLOW. It’s a fable as elliptical and mythic in its storytelling and aesthetic as found in the best of Team ICO's work. It does feel weird making all these video game references, but it's a compliment. My daughter and I were transfixed until the final, poignant frame.

    The Amazing Spider-Man

    ★★½

    Despite solid performances from the leads, this reboot of the Spidey franchise is a more protracted, less-inspired version of a story which was already more efficiently told just a decade previous.

    Arrival

    ★★★★½

    Deeply moving and humanistic, beautifully shot with incredible sound design; the script elegantly balances the dramatic narrative while gradually submerging the audience in the challenge of how to communicate with the aliens. This film resonated with me long after I had left the screening and made me want to rush home and hug my kids. The epitome of why I adore going to the cinema.
